From the Daily News:
A troubled Far Rockaway hospital will be taking a scalpel to its staff roster amid ongoing restructuring plans, the Daily News has learned.
Peninsula Hospital sent out layoff notification letters to more than 50 employees on Monday as its new owner tries to stabilize its finances, several union delegates told The News.
Peninsula is currently going through Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings under the stewardship of Revival Home Health Care. Revival had taken over Peninsula from MediSys Health Network in September, after the hospital was struggling with more than $60 million in debt.

Yeah we peasants don't need good health care. It's better that the CEO and cronies get a fat check...
How is it that you never see the CEO or President of a big place like this get laid off! Now I would love to see that. They make enough to keep at least 15-20 people employed. They are the people who actually run the hospital!
"Turnabout is Fair Play"
here they go again. union agitators mouthing off class warfare slogans.
the former executives and ny state politicians appear to be the partial blame for the hospital bankruptcy.one other failure was the communities using the emergency room as a GP's, general practice, office. (very expensive waste of funds ).
also the hospital could not afford the SEIU benefits plan.(too expensive)
the hospital was part of the other "SIX CITY HOSPITALS IN CRITICAL CONDITION" NYPOST ,9/5/11.
the downsized employees were nurses ,xray/respiratory techs.
the socialist free lunch is over.....
Not until the corporate free lunch is over.
#4, do you mean the obama/goldman sachs/geithner ...new general motors corp......G.E.immelt /job czar...windmill/solar panel Pelosi/Podesta/...uganda oil/soros.... corporate welfare ?????
And the oil companies and the energy cartels and so on...
what a wonderful idea. let's allow illegal immigrants to run up huge bills at hospitals. let them have their jack pot babies for free and in the process run our hospitals into the ground.
this is another result of incompetent employee services by the S.E.I.U benefit gangsters, at this hospital.
the insured public stopped using this medical facility,and went east for more competent care.
the illegal alien freeloaders (MEDICAID) ran it to the ground, as in many of the other local hospitals.
the free market (CAPITALISM) is the only salvation ,NOT SOCIALISM.
